You have to laugh don't you.
p.s. Gabriel is ****ing **** anyway so win win.
"Most people".
Really??
Or are you simply applying the Monty multiplier for effect tool.
I recall some doubts early in his career as he was a little rash in the tackle on occasion, the odd red even if I am not mistaken but by end of season 1 he was a very accomplished defender (though can still be prone to the odd “**** me” moment or two specifically with regards to passing and ball distribution).
You know very well that we reserve the right to declare any player to be **** be it after two games, two seasons or close to 10 years. That is how it works.
His early response from supporters was largely positive but since plateaued, a rather normal sequence of events I am sure you will concur.
I think Gabriel earned a degree of kudos for what was perceived as a physical and aggressive presence, a scenario that grew wings when he was seen to stand up to Costa, further then when having been carded he was then absolved of blame.
The thing is as a defender he lacks composure and appears on occasion to be utterly lost in respect of what is going on around him. Perhaps he has suffered from not being a regular starter which in turn would allow him to form a partnership, a crucial factor in where he plays.
Unfeasibly ****ing ugly also.
Speaking of which, are you yet a father again?
